    Here is a script I wrote:

    ~/bin 0s  
    > cat vget  
    #!/usr/bin/env fish  
    yt-dlp --embed-metadata --write-subs --embed-subs --write-thumbnail --prefer-free-formats -f "[height<=1080]" $argv

        You’re correct!

               --write-thumbnail  
                      Write thumbnail image to disk  
        

        There is also this option:

               --embed-thumbnail  
                      Embed thumbnail in the video as cover art
